After returning home to Korea, I had the opportunity to teach a course at
Hanshin University in Osan, Korea.
This immensely enjoyable teaching experience changed the course of my life. Through this experience,
I discovered that I have a passion for teaching and that I wanted to teach at the
university level for the rest of my life. To fulfill my dream, I returned to the
United States to pursue my Ph.D. at the
School of Library and Information Studies
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I earned my Ph.D.
At Madison, I met many great professors who helped me grow intellectually and discover
my other passion, research. Ultimately, I hope to contribute to making a better society
by engaging in teaching, research, and service.
